Answer
Find out the number of video games that Jasmine can buy with her savings .
To proof
Let us assume that the number of video games Jasmine can buy be x .
As given
Jasmine wants to use her savings of $1128 to buy video games and music CDs.
The total price of the music CDs she bought was $72. The video games cost $43 each.
Than the equation becomes
72 + 43× x = 1128
simplify
72 + 43x = 1128
43x = 1128 - 72
43x = 1056
x = 24.6 (approx)
Take
x = 24
Therefore the maximum number of video games that Jasmine can buy with her savings be 24 .
Hence proved
